The block button also works great.
I don't like to miss out on the conversation. But keeping labels makes it easier to call out idiots
There's too much content to pay attention to even when you block all tankies and other extremists. My blocklist is around 550 users long and there's no shortage of content - just a slightly better noise to signal ratio.
One scenario that worries me:
100% of existing users block unpleasant posters. New user joins. New user sees hateful/ignorant comments with zero contradictions in replies. New user assumes many existing users are hateful/ignorant, when in reality it’s a small muted minority. New user leaves never to return.
Potential partial solution/community contribution:
Resilient users in excellent health (🧠) block no one, replying to lampoon jerks as necessary.
Oh I have posts from .ml and several others blocked on here. The comments I don't mind
